Instructions

The Smoke and Citrus Serenity is a contemporary twist on the classic bourbon cocktail, capturing the timeless sophistication of bourbon with an innovative combination of smoky and citrus notes. This drink will suit those who enjoy bold flavors with a hint of sweetness and smokiness. Ingredients: - 2 oz bourbon - 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1/2 oz smoked honey syrup (equal parts honey and water, with a touch of liquid smoke) - 2 dashes of orange bitters - 1 oz blood orange puree (fresh if available, otherwise a high-quality store-bought version) - Ice cubes - Garnish: dehydrated blood orange wheel or a twist of lemon peel, and a sprig of thyme Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, freshly squeezed lemon juice, smoked honey syrup, and blood orange puree. 2. Add the orange bitters to the mix to introduce a nuanced citrus depth. 3. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir well to chill and dilute the mixture slightly. 4. Strain the mixture into a chilled old-fashioned glass over a large ice cube. The substantial ice will keep the drink cold while melting slowly to maintain the strength and flavor of the cocktail. 5. Garnish with a dehydrated blood orange wheel or a twist of lemon peel casually draped over the rim of the glass, and add a sprig of thyme for an aromatic herbal accent. The Smoke and Citrus Serenity is a balanced and suave cocktail perfect for a relaxing evening or a sophisticated gathering. Its layered flavors and smoky undertones make it a memorable and delicious tribute to the timeless allure of bourbon.
